Parang lalo ko po kayong nagulo hehe. Pero it really is a really competitive segment. Suggestion ko po, schedule a test drive. Tutal, narrowed down na po ang choices. When I had only 2 options left on my list (i just bought a sedan ), I picked my choice based on the feel of the test drive.

@cecilleMontero Sport best looking and most powerful in the lot. I guess the cheapest too. (just buy the leather seats aftermarket)

@carl carter.Buy the Montero Sport. It's an SUV which can sit more people. It's more comfortable to ride passengers in. The Montero Sport 2.5 gls V now has VGT which has 12-15ps more than the 3.2 gls sport of the strada.

Lastly, you can bring the Montero Sport anywhere even in a Hotel, the Strada nope.

If it's for daily use buy the Montero. Only buy a Strada for business or recreation in which there are more other pick-ups to choose from with bigger beds, more powerful engines or cheaper variants.

hi there,In a similar dilemma waiting to test drive the montero sport, the new one,just finished test driving the Everest ...its big, a bit heavy,brakes are a bit deep in biting. Its got power though and the seats are way comfy. I agree ride is a little bumpy we were going through some village streets and I could feel the shakes along my spine. I like it for the price and the frills, its really decent, whats the consumption on the Everest anyway? I dont know im moving in from a car to an suv so... anyway will look into booking a captiva test drive next or the tucson, all of these are basically in the same price range. I would want a full size primarily. On the initial stages so would really appreciate any feedback...or contacts on best prices from you experts out there.

Budgetary constraints and a twitch for practicality but a want for a fashionable vehicle veered me into the Mitsubishi showroom and ....so after quite a wait i finally got to test drive the Montero Sport 4x2 ......nice..very nice.

It was comfortable, had respectable power and handled well on turns. It may not have all the bells and whistles pumped in there but as in the previous posts why not customize it and put it in after. Leather seats would be nice but the velour type fabric seemed to fit in nicely. Old school dials and not too prime time switches, new LCD display with GPS and maps, trip tracker and etc, gave it a nice "YES" factor. Waiting for consumption reviews though. the new 2.5 ltr engine said to generate more power should be more efficient but will patiently get more feedback.

Besides I'm on queue to try out the Tucson and Santa Fe>>>long wait. i guess Hyundai doesn't need any marketing as the wait time is like forever.

Not in any rush this is a big investment for me and I want to be sure this vehicle has all that it takes to last me a few good years.
